Hello.
i am needing some advice on some wallpaper choice on below locations.
1) Entrance hallway - 9 meter long. 9 feet ceiling 1.5 meter wide
2) An study room / home office wall
3) A staircase that has a large window in it.

For the study room i am wanting something thats natural but gives an office vibe.

For the staircase, I am wanting something that will give an essense of outdoor look.

For the hallway i am wanting something colourful, Geometry or has a bit of wow factor to it.

    So, what wallpaper ranges have you looked at already? Mokum is a good Aussie brand.

    I was in the hotel renovation end of construction for a few years. VWC or vinyl wall covering is by far the most durable product o the market. Most paper-hangers can install. Also using corner guards will keep it looking great for years to come. Good luck Artisan Pacific Construction, Inc. Los Angeles, Ca.

    i was thinking of putting an outdoor like forest or tree nature type image printed on a clear stick on paper that can go on that window so when u look at it. it gives the impression that you are looking at nature, trees, ...
    question is i dont know how realistic if will look ..

    The window space is so high up ... the tops of trees or plants would be the "normal" thing to see at this height.

    Opaque glass is the plainest option ... as there here are many coloured, textured and etched glasses on the market - have a look what's available.

    A made to measure laser-cut metal artwork (which fits seamlesslessly over the frame of the window) would be another alternative ... chooseing a small to medium all-over contemporary motif.

    The most expensive option would be a stained glass window ... in a contemporary design ... in the colours of your choice. With this option you may not need wallpaper at all!

    Good luck with it all!

    very detailed infor v richards. thanks.
    alternatively, i was thinking to put an out door stairs on that side of the house that go upto just below the window sil and put plants in pots and have pots sitting on the stairs..
    that way from inside the house i see the trees thru the window without seeing the pots or the stairs. but cost wise its unrealistic!!!

    I suggest you use paint for the impact colour, that way you can change it easily when trends change, and hang wall art for the dramatic effect and wow factor. Try Ironbark Images in Maitland NSW for fantastic images, I used them on a project in the Hunter Valley, they have all sorts of photos that can be printed on thin metal, the ones I used were 3.6M x 2.4M in size and gave the big room a fantastic impact! Have a look at Calvery Aged Care Facility, Bimbadeen Hostel on the internet, you will see the huge pieces I am talking about in the lounge/dining areas.

    my advice would be don't wallpaper! It's a very personal taste thing & a bitch to take off. I have not bought 2 houses because of the wallpaper & the hard work to remove it. I have also wallpapered, got sick of it in a few years & then of course had to wallpaper again or do a lot of hard work to strip it off to make a clean wall to paint.Having said that i believe there are new wallpapers that you just peel off a backing paper & apply that don't have that dreaded backing & can just bee peeled off. Google "removable wall paper" . Thinking of getting some to do the inserts of my wardrobe doors.

    wall paper is personal choice I just wonder if you have two many different ideas going on in one space. I can only suggest that you make sure that while separate all the papers are tied in together by one form / feature - whether it be colour or texture - make it cohesive.

    This is a great geometric design for the hallway. In this photo it is being used in a powder room but it is suited to all areas of the home. Being white with silver metallic circles it is contemporary yet neutral enough to look amazing without being too overpowering.

    Think really hard about wallpaper you are stuck with it, a feature painted wall would be more doable and cheaper and to hide windows next door what about shutters they look great. Wallpapers date quickly at least changing the colour on a feature wall wouldn't be too hard. I've been scarred from using the wrong wallpaper it looked horrible and dated. Really consider. Good luck.

    Sorry Mahazara I know you asked about wallpaper but the elephant in the room is the view from your staircase window. I just have to talk about that first! I would decide whether to screen the roof next door or incorporate it into the design scheme. If screening, I'd decide whether to do fixed or adjustable screening. If fixed, I'd go external with a cut metal screen. If adjustable, I'd go with an internal plain sheer blind (motorised). THEN I'd figure out what to do on the walls. If you did decide to keep the window as is, you could use a roofscape or cityscape design in browns/blacks/whites so next door's roof is kind of incorporated. I know it wasn't the question you asked, just had to say what I saw ; )

    thanks deb. whats a roofscape or cityscare design look like?
    the staircasw window actually isnt something you look at all the time, only when u accessing the stairs ofcourse, next doors roof dont bother me much but once i put a pendant on i think ii really just want something natural, hence why i was thinking maybe i shud be a metal outdoor stairs outside and put plants on the stairs like a maple tree or something that grows about 2 meters to 4 meters...that way u wud see that through that window...

    what are peoples suggestions about the hallway big ginormous wall? i will put a pic soon of the wallpaper that i was thinking about putting in the study..
  • Deborah Wreford

    You're welcome! Roof/city scapes are like landscapes, but the views are of roofs not plants. Google roofscapes images and you'll get the idea : ) And if you're not bothered by the roof next door then I'm not bothered by the roof next door! I'm sad to say though that your metal outside stairs idea will likely not get approval from your local Council. I say that approval is unlikely because that roof next door seems very close, so I imagine the setback of your house (and theirs) is likely as close as Council will let you get. In other words, no building of any structure such as stairs would be allowed in the space that's there now. But never say never...give their planning department a call or submit an enquiry online and just run the plan past them. Maybe instead of stairs you actually mean a Juliet balcony? (google it!) Even that plus the type of window it's attached to is subject to Council approval so again, you would need to contact them. Plants on a Juliet balcony would indeed be very charming but I'm not sure how realistic this option is. So all that being said, I'm still going for my roofscape/cityscape option to better incorporate next door's roof. Roofscapes can include trees too you know!

    I would frost that window, or opaque leadlight. .
